** MediaWiki has an editor that is live editing? with visual feedback? maybe look in to this to see if it is in a released version or is experimental. One problem is that it might only be used in Wikipedia and they're on a forked branch of MediaWiki iirc. Anyway, having a better editor means people need less help with markup. Some people like it, some don't. [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 11:41, 4 October 2016 (CDT)
** I like being able to check out a repo for a wiki to edit files locally and then use git to check in changes. I can't remember if that was an extension, but maybe? It might be crappy, in which case forget it. I'm the only person who would like it, I bet. [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 11:41, 4 October 2016 (CDT)

* Talk pages. If we use talk pages, explain some of the talk features to people. The ones I like are:
** Signing comments with 4 tildes.
** Using the "Add topic" heading to separate topics.
** Using nested comments with multiple colons.
